EDISON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fuji
Electric Corp. of America has introduced a new series of HMI
products, with models ranging from 5.7” to 15”. The Monitouch
V9 Series includes three line-ups with the V9 Lite, V9 Standard, and
the V9 Advanced, designed as a migration path for V8 Series customers
while also offering step-up features to satisfy the requirements of more
advanced applications.

“Fuji Electric is committed to manufacturing the next generation Human
Machine Interface that will allow customers to select the appropriate
model for their application, and the V9 Series offers them the option of
choosing between a simple HMI, a standard model and a more advanced
unit,” said Thomas Bopp, Fuji Electric’s General Manager of HMI,
AC
Drives, and Ring
Compressors. “With features such as remote connectivity for tablets
and smartphones, a capacitive touch panel for smooth operation, and a
wireless LAN interface, we can continue serving the evolving needs of
our existing customer base while reaching new markets.”

All models in the V9 Series are UL Certified, and come standard with
on-board Ethernet ports and SD card slots, allowing for better
connectivity to peripheral devices. Select models will have on-board
sound output, wireless LAN (access point incorporated), and will be
Class 1 Division 2 rated, ideal for use in Oil & Gas applications. The
VNC server function ensures that all models can be accessed from a
tablet PC, and the compatibility of all V9 series models with VPN means
a safer and more secure network environment. With a vibrant color
display and PDF viewing capabilities, customers will enjoy the higher
performance and ease of operation.

“The breadth of this new line-up of programmable operator interfaces is
reflective of Fuji Electric’s engineering capabilities and our
unwavering focus on innovation and product development,” added Bopp.
“Rather than simply adding new features to the V8 Series, we listened to
our customers’ requests for a line-up that covered all their needs,
which is why the V9 Series is appropriate for everything from the
simplest applications to more advanced projects.”
